Using The Maps/Garmin Software / Newbie Map Install Question/Frustration
« on: May 20, 2012, 09:52:02 PM »
Hi all, I recently purchased a Oregon 400t and 8GB MicroSD card.
I am trying to install many of the Topos of various states from GPSFileDepot and I am extremely frustrated with an apparent lack of ability to rename the maps. For starters, I don't understand why the people who created the maps in the first place didn't do something more clear, for example instead of naming a file artopo11, why didn't they simply make it Arkansas Topo? After all the work to create a Topo, why be lazy during the last step?!
Anyways, I've tried renaming the files to something a bit easier for me to quickly understand inside the GPS, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I tried doing a search, but I must be a bit slow because the results that I was able to find didn't make much sense to me.
Thanks in advance for the help.
